Fishappointment: /fish ap poynt ment/ Eddy & Molly had high hopes for their young fry, Gill. But time after time he created fishappointment in his parents by repeating their errors. Like most tuna-aged offspring, he skipped school, wore a mullet and a sole-patch, his room smelt and he swore just for the halibut. His parents were fishsatisfied with his behaviour and to avoid further fishcontent, they carped at him until he got a job. He was a fishgruntled bass-tard at first, but finally found his porpoise and plaice as a spawn-broker.
